Curing Lights | Why Are They Critical to a Successful Practice?

### Overview Most clinical procedures in everyday practice include polymerization of light curing resin materials. Inadequate polymerization of these materials can significantly compromise clinical outcome. Therefore, understanding polymerization technology and selecting appropriate curing lights are extremely important for dentists and dental staff. ### Learning Objectives - Understand why curing lights and their proper use are critical to your practice - Learn about the consequences of under-cured dental resin materials - Discover how to double the bond strength between tooth and resin - Understand why irradiance value alone is insufficient when evaluating curing lights - Identify key factors when selecting the ideal curing light for your practice - Learn how to optimize light-cured resins for best results
